Web Hosting
Web hosting services power websites. Get reliable hosting with speed, uptime, and support for personal or business sites.
Web hosting
Web hosting is where your website lives so people can visit it day and night. It matters because fast and stable hosting makes pages open quickly and keeps visitors happy. With the right plan, you can start a simple site, a class blog, or a small store. Clear tools help you upload files, install a builder, and add a secure certificate so the lock icon appears. Good hosting makes your ideas shine online.
How do I choose a hosting plan?
List what you need: one site or many, light pages or photos and videos, and expected visitors. Start with shared hosting for small sites and upgrade later if you grow. Read reviews and check that support is friendly. Pick a plan with backups and easy SSL.
What features are most useful?
- Automatic backups.
- Free SSL certificates.
- One click installers.
- Helpful live support.
How do I connect my domain?
Find the DNS settings at your registrar and point the A record to your host’s IP. If your host gives nameservers, change them to the ones provided. Wait for the changes to spread, then run the SSL tool so your site loads over https. Visit the page to confirm it works everywhere.
Which builder should I use?
A simple drag and drop builder is good for school pages and clubs. A content system is better for blogs and news. For stores, choose a builder with carts and payments. Try a demo and see which feels easy for you. Comfort matters as much as features.
How do I keep my site secure?
Update plugins and themes, use strong passwords, and turn on two factor sign in. Make weekly backups and store a copy off the server. Remove old test pages and unused accounts. Security grows when you keep software fresh and your access list small.
What if my site is slow?
Compress large images, limit heavy plugins, and use caching if offered. Choose a server near your visitors. Check speed at busy and quiet times. If the site is still slow after cleanup, ask your host about moving to a faster plan. Small fixes add up to a big speed boost.
Web Hosting FAQ
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a service that stores your site’s files on a server and makes them reachable on the internet. When someone types your domain, the host sends pages to their browser. Plans differ by speed, space, and support.
How do I connect my domain to hosting?
Find your host’s nameservers and set them at your registrar, or add A and AAAA records to the host IP. Wait a few hours for DNS to update. In your hosting panel, add the domain and upload site files or connect a CMS. Test with a fresh browser to confirm the pages load on your address.
Which hosting types can I choose?
Common choices are shared hosting for small sites, VPS for more power and control, and dedicated or cloud for heavy traffic. Managed WordPress plans handle updates for you. Pick by budget, speed needs, and skills.
Where can I see uptime and resource use?
Open your host’s dashboard and look for Monitoring or Metrics. There you can see uptime, CPU, RAM, and bandwidth. Set alerts for spikes or downtime. Many hosts email weekly summaries. Watching these charts helps you plan upgrades and catch issues early so visitors get fast, steady pages every day.
How often should I back up my website?
Back up at least weekly and daily for active stores or blogs. Keep one copy with the host and another off‑site. Test a restore each month to be sure it works. Automated backups reduce risk from mistakes, hacks, or bad updates so your site can return to normal without long delays or lost data.
Which is better: shared hosting or VPS?
Shared hosting is low cost and simple to manage, good for small sites. A VPS gives dedicated resources and deeper control for growing traffic or custom apps. Start shared if budget is tight, then move to a VPS when you need more speed and stability. Choosing by current needs keeps costs sensible.
